These were the words of Neeraj Chopra when he was finally able to break the 90-metre mark at the Doha Diamond League in May this year.

Australia Legend's Stunning Prediction: 'England Will Party, India Will...'

Last Updated: Matthew Hayden believes England will beat India and have a 'pretty good party' after the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden feels England will have a 'pretty good party' at the end of the five-Test Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy after they beat India, who will likely 'struggle' to come to terms with the conditions. Hayden expects new captain Shubman Gill will find the environment 'hostile' and the young side won't be able to make the 'lots of adjustments' needed to survive here. Gill is the fifth-youngest captain in India's Test history. He won't have the services of three of India's last five captains in this decade — Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma (both retired from the format), and Ajinkya Rahane (out of favor) — for his first steps. England under Ben Stokes are much more settled in comparison. Moreover, India haven't won any series in the UK since 2007 — all of it stacking the odds against them. 'I feel India are really going to struggle," Hayden told the ICC. 'Shubman Gill is a young captain coming to this hostile environment, seaming conditions, bouncing conditions. It's going to be a real challenge, it's actually absolutely the litmus test as a touring team," Hayden told the ICC. 'Generally touring teams come here and it is polar opposite conditions to what you are used to as fundamentally as a player, be it young or old. So lots of adjustments, so I predict that England, let me tell you, are a going to have a pretty good party at the end of that series." Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith also echoed the sentiments. He said that the visitors are too reliant on Jasprit Bumrah — who has already declared his body might just allow him to play three Tests. 'England at home, they really do play well at home. They understand the conditions and get the best out of it. I think it's going to be a challenge for Shubman and his team, lost a lot of experience, got to come here and that pressure shifts onto different people…" Smith said. 'I think Bumrah is going to carry a huge amount of the bowling attack. So I think England will have the better of India in these conditions," he added. First Published: June 20, 2025, 14:19 IST
